Recipes from the bottom of the drawer

I took a break tonight from appliqueing the Boo Mug Rug to look for a recipe to make. I finished the blanket stitching and now need to go and finish putting it together. Might get it done this weekend but not sure yet.

At work we celebrate all the birthdays in the month and the theme for the September birthday celebration is "favorite or best dish". Oh my! I knew right away that I would need to start thinking on this now. So, while I was looking for some DVD sleeves that I needed, I ran across some of the family recipes that she gave me. I started laughing and thought I'd share some with you.

The first one is....well I don't know what it is called. Mom didn't name it. At the top of the recipe card it says "From the kitchen of Edith (mom's name) but the crossed it out and put Bonni instead. Interesting start right?

Hmmm. Ok. Where do I start. Things that stood out to me when I read this recipe.

1. Refrigerated egg whites? My mother NEVER used those. I'm not even sure she knows you can buy them at the store.
2. Huh? Really mom? Like whomever I give this recipe to is going to know what kind of pan you gave me? Actually I do know which pans she's talking about but that's beside the point.
